This luxurious family house, first sold by Millwood Designer Homes in 2015 as part of its small and exclusive Orchard Gate development, is on the market.

There are granite work surfaces, with inset stainless steel one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer with tap over and boiling tap, integrated full height refrigerator and freezer, integrated combination microwave oven, wine fridge and dishwasher.

A central island has integrated twin Siemens ovens, five-ring gas hob and stainless steel extractor hood. There’s an adjoining utility room.

The first floor consists of five double bedrooms with three en suites and a family bathroom. One of the guest rooms has a beautiful outlook over apple orchards.

Reached via bi-folding doors from the kitchen and double doors from the sitting room the south facing walled garden is mainly laid to lawn with attractive plant and flowerbeds and has patio and decked areas perfect for entertaining guests.
